As the holiday season kicks off thousands will be jetting off to enjoy a well-earned break. 

Whether heading for an all-inclusive break ready to soak up the sun or taking a trip to explore a new city and culture, plenty will be jetting off.

That includes alcohol, with airport duty-free giving you the chance to save money on goods, you might treat yourself to a bottle or two. 

However, you do need to be aware of some rules around alcohol and flying as airlines offer different regulations. 

So you don't get caught out we've gathered all the information from major airlines including TUI, easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, British Airways and more.
